Chosen Solution

Is it possible to upgrade MBP 2010 mid to the following board below?

Mid-2012 13" - MD101LL/A* - MacBookPro9,2 - A1278 - 2554* Mid-2012 13" - MD102LL/A - MacBookPro9,2 - A1278 - 2554*

Unfortunately the answer is negative, the 2010 model has different connectors on screen and logic board and they don’t match with the i5/i7 boards of 2011 and following years. You’ll have to stick to core2duo boards for compatibility.

Unfortunately not, the 2010 have different top case bracket for the mother board.

the 2010 and the 2012 use different cable connections in the logic board and on the screen.
